In her recent comic “The Size of Things,” Zoe Schein ’12, the creator of Z-nifty and the Funk, explains why she loves Iowa.

The Size of Things by Zoe Schein

In my experience, there's only one cure for a crowded mind, and that's to know the size of things.

That's why I love Iowa.

In the city, everything worth seeing has a bigass, ugly building in front of it. But in corn country, far enough out, you can start to trace the edges.

To the left, in the distance, the world begins. To the right, it dwindles, then ends.

And the whole world, all of it... rustles between.
